192 Professor Brande's Lectures on Chemistry. 



In the First Division of each Course, the principles and objects of Chemical 

 Science, and the general Laws of Chemical Changes, are explained, and the phe- 

 nomena of Attraction, and of Light, Heat, and Electricity developed, and illus- 

 trated by numerous Experiments. 



In the Second Division, the undecompounded bodies are examined, and the 

 modes of procuring them in a pure form, and of ascertaining their chemical cha- 

 racters, exhibited upon an extended scale. — The lectures on the Metals include 

 a succinct account of Mineralogy, and of the methods of analyzing and assaying 

 Ores. 



This part of the Course will also contain a full examination of Pharmaceu- 

 ticul Chemistry ; the Chemical Processes of the Pharmacopoeise will be par- 

 ticularly described, and compared with those adopted by the Manufacturer. 



The Third and Fourth Divisions relate to Organic Substances. — The 

 Chemical changes induced by Vegetation are here inquired into ; the Principles 

 of Vegetables, the Theory of Fermentation, and the Character of its Products are 

 then examined. 



The Chemical History of Animals is the next object of inquiry — it is il- 

 lustrated by an examination of their component parts, in health, and in disease; 

 by inquiry into the Chemistry of Animal Functions, and into the application of 

 Chemical Principles to the treatment of diseases. 



The Courses conclude with an Account op the Structure of the Earth, 

 of the Changes which it is undergoing, of the objects and uses of Geology, and of 

 the principles of Agricultural Chemistry. 



The applications of Chemistry to the Arts and Manufactures, and to Eco- 

 nomical Purposes, are discussed at some length in various parts of the Courses ; 

 and the most important of them are experimentally-exhibited. The various 

 operations of Analysis are also shewn and explained. 



The Admission Fee to each Course is Four Guineas; or, by paying Eight 

 Guineas, Gentlemen are entitled to attend for an unlimited time. Gentlemen, 

 who are in actual attendance at the Medical and Anatomical Schools in 

 London, are admitted to attend Two Courses of Mr. Brande's Lectures, 

 upon the payment tf Six Guineas. Life and Annual Subscribers to the 

 Royal Institution are admitted to the above Lectures, on payment of Two 

 Guineas for each Course ; or, by paying Six Guineas, are entitled to attend 

 for an unlimited time.
